Franciszek Starowieyski Art

1930-2009

Franciszek Andrzej Bobola Biberstein-Starowieyski was born on July 8, 1930, in Bratkówka. He studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków and Warsaw from 1949–55. He specialized in poster, drawing, painting, stage design, as well as a book illustration. He was a member of Alliance Graphique Internationale. Throughout his career, his style deviated from the socialist realism that was prevalent during the start of his career and the popular, brightly colored posters. He was the first Polish artist to have an individual exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1986. His works were exhibited, among others, in Belgium, the United States, France, Austria, Canada, Switzerland and Italy and might be found in private and public collections around the world. He won several major awards like International Biennale of the Arts Award, São Paulo in 1973, Film poster award, Cannes Film Festivalin 1974, Gold Plaque, International Film Festival, Chicago in 1979, Silver Hugo, Film poster competition in 1982, 3rd Prize at International Biennial of Posters, Warsaw in 2000. He died on February 23, 2009, in Warsaw.

He positioned his main subject, the F-111 military plane, which was in development at the time, flying through fragmented images of consumer products and references to war. Through its expansive network of colliding visual motifs, F-111 addresses the connections between the Vietnam War, income taxes, consumerism, and advertising. James Rosenquist was an American Pop artist known for his monumental paintings and prints. Often appropriating commercial imagery, his montage-like works combined popular culture, surrealism, and historical painting methods. “Much of the aesthetic of my work comes from doing commercial art,” the artist once said. “I painted pieces of bread, Arrow shirts...

The Arsonist - Color Pencil Drawing, Surreal Nighttime Scene, Framed
By John Hrehov
Located in Chicago, IL
The artist is a master at storytelling. He sets the stage for the viewer to bring the events to a particular scene. Here, the artist presents us with a curious scene. A lone figure in the dark, with a flame, is bent over a dark house. The title suggests an incident is about to take place yet can we believe what we are seeing? The viewer is required to ask the questions about the scene but the answers may only lie in their own imagination. The drawing is matted with a heavy white mat and framed in a simple dark grey wooden frame measuring 14.5 x 16 inches.
